Revenue
Gross bookings per Mérida listing averaged MX$172,195 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Mexico average: MX$218,840), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Mérida listing brings in MX$25,100 in December, its best month, and MX$14,600 in September, its slowest. January runs within 5% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.
December earns about 1.7 times what September does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, MX$20,100. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue and nightly rate; bookings peaked in February 2026. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mérida Airbnb took in MX$172,195 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$10,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about MX$20,300 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$11,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$10,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$8,600 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

The 12-month rate of 39% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Mérida, known as ADR (average daily rate), was MX$1,564 over the past year, about 39% below the Mexico average of MX$2,565. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about MX$1,490 and bottom out in September and October at about MX$1,335.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 4.3 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, MX$1,430. The 12-month ADR of MX$1,564 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Mérida it averaged MX$630 over the past year, from about MX$486 in a typical September to about MX$809 in a typical December.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

Permits
None of the 5,010 active listings in Mérida display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Mérida.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Mérida Airbnb grossed MX$172,195 in the 12 months to September 2026, 21% below the national average of MX$218,840. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, MX$119,695 a year (about MX$10,000 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about MX$20,300 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
